I haven't tried one personally, but Shimano just came out with a "Saltwater" Stradic. $159, but it HAS the bearing everyone screams about, and a waterproof drag.

To tell you honestly, I have had no problems with my "regular" stradic's drags, and mine get soaked regularly.

These reels, should be REEL winners! I'll buy some one day, after my current reels fail.
